C7
Well, I grew up back in the sticks
F7
I was raised on cornbread and scripture
G7 C7
And praise God for teachin' me wrong from right
I had a wild streak three counties wide
F7
Devil had me dead in his sights
G7 C7
It was the hand of God that kept me out of the hands of the law
[Chorus]
C7
Mama brought the Bible, daddy brought the belt
F7
Mama set the table, daddy rung the bell
G7
The preacher did his best to show me the light
C7
But daddy was the one that kept me walkin' the line
Mama sang the gospel, daddy drove it home
F7
Mama was an angel, daddy was a brimstone
G7
One foot in Heaven, and one foot in Hell
C7
I found the religion 'tween the Bible and the Belt
[Instrumental]
C7 x4
[Verse]
C7
I guess it rings true what the "Good Book" says
F7
What you learn young, you never forget
G7 C7
Daddy's belt left quite an impression on me
Hmmm, I can still hear Mama's voice in the choir
F7
She'd set the whole dang church on fire
G7 C7
And it still burns in the deepest part of me
[Chorus]
C7
Mama brought the Bible, daddy brought the belt
F7
Mama set the table, daddy rung the bell
G7
The preacher did his best to show me the light
C7
But daddy was the one that kept me walkin' the line
Mama sang the gospel, daddy drove it home
F7
Mama was an angel, daddy was a brimstone
G7
One foot in Heaven, and one foot in Hell
C7
I found the religion 'tween the Bible and the Belt
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
C7
Mama sang the gospel, daddy drove it home
F7
Mama was an angel, daddy was a brimstone
G7
One foot in Heaven, and one foot in Hell

G7
I say, one foot in Heaven, and one foot in Hell
C7
I found the religion 'tween the Bible and the Belt
